Radiant roses by jubilee shores' illuming ray,

I envision your peace in heaven's blissful abode,
Waiting for me at your kitchen's humble road.

If I could, your thoughts from above would be heard.
Guiding memories of your blessings imbue
Each step I take - heavenly windows, I'd look for you.

That a devoted mother did share.

Laughter's joys and sorrow's tear.
From the depths of a grateful heart,
Praises for the role you impart.
Blessings upon the sacred hand,
That molded me in this blessed land.
The essence found in your tender embrace,
No greater mother could take your place.
A prayer to honor, this day revered,
The purest love this world has reared.

With gentle touch to soothe each care.
So into this world, a gift most fair,
The blessed presence of a mother.
To nurture life from its dawning light,
Protector against the unknown plight.
God's loving arms that hold us tight -
The outstretched embrace of a mother.
No watchful eye to vigil keep,
As innocence drifts to slumber's sleep.
To kiss away the sorrows that weep,
This gift to the world - a mother.
As youth's days rapidly took flight,
A steadfast hand to guide the light.
Sheltered in her heart's day and night,
Life's compass forever - a mother.
When our journey in this life concludes,
The Lord's messenger to kindly usher,
Welcoming us home with love profuse,
The eternal angel - our mother.

- From heaven's boundless treasures,
The rarest gifts were culled.
Woven into one exquisite design,
Perfect, sweet, love distilled.
The angels looked upon their work,
Smiling at the vision bright.
"Amongst all exemplary patterns,
This one will be mother's light."
For throughout the passage of time,
A mother's essence shines true.
Embodying all that's precious and pure,
Virtues that godliness imbues.
Within the sacred role of motherhood,
A spark of the Divine glows.
Unconditional love's blessed radiance,
From that hallowed space it flows.
